Question 160

Each of 27 bricks (right rectangular prisms) has dimensions $a \times b \times c$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are pairwise relatively prime positive integers. These bricks are arranged to form a $3 \times 3 \times 3$ block, as shown on the left below. A 28th brick with the same dimensions is introduced, and these bricks are reconfigured into a $2 \times 2 \times 7$ block, shown on the right. The new block is 1 unit taller, 1 unit wider, and 1 unit deeper than the old one. What is $a + b + c$?
